Observer
Name William Jason B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I felt the heat from this thing! I’m a firefighter so I know what rapid heat rise is. We are highly trained to recognize rapid heat rise, “flashover “. I had a sweatshirt on with my hood up and felt it thru it. My friends all say I’m crazy but I know what I felt. The heat arrived milliseconds after the glow started catching my attention.
